I remember a social media platform where each user had a thread specific ID “curious rabbit/astonished baboon”, and users can discuss anything without any fear. The moment you created a new thread or participate in a new thread, your ID changed. I think it fizzled out eventually, but the concept was interesting.

Centralization issue. However, it can never be as bad as Reddit.

This is a habit that prevalent everywhere, even on reddit. Only 20 or even 10 % of people produce content and rest just watch/consume. If we can have that kind of split on lemmy, it would be fine.

You should check out the super old website called “cooking for engineers”.

Most people die when they are killed

You can have a perfect distro on a USB which boots into Linux automatically when inserted into your PC and it preserves all your files and favorites. Still it will hardly increase the market share by 1 or 2%. It’s because a super minority of people will bother to get the USB drive.

The core issue we have to understand is “availability of preinstalled Linux on PCs in brick and mortar shops”. Till this is solved, we won’t get market share. The only reason people are using Linux on their SteamDeck is availability.

My brother in Christ, do you think an average person knows what BIOS/boot menu are?

It’s some sort of proprietary peer to peer algorithm

I completely lost interest for the project at this point of the text

I remember using it first on Google Talk. Good days.

Nooooo. If you do that, you won’t be paying for Teams Premium which has built in support for screen recording. Think of the revenue lost 😭😭

Edit: I should add /s incase people think I’m a Microsoft shill

Very romantic. Down for it. Gunning for it.

Now where have I heard of this logic before? 🤔

These people have been stealing our pixels for so long. Have you seen how much China has been stealing? There memes are twice as large as ours. But everyone has been crying to me “Sir, but pixies aren’t real.” THEY ARE REAL!. My uncle has seen pixies. He was very smart, the smartest person I know perhaps. So from tomorrow, the pixel tariffs are being launched. Or pixies. I don’t know, doesn’t matter.

In capitalism, you get a bad crop

As per the article

on my own network a whopping 66.6% of all traffic is blocked

I stated it’s actually 66.6% DNS requests being blocked, not the raw bandwidth utilization. Raw bandwidth savings (by not downloading the non-zero ads) would be much lesser.

Can’t we be nicer on the internet?

Correct. The payload of DNS requests is tiny compared to, say requesting a webpage. So there might not be a huge decrease of bandwidth usage reduction. However, having 66.6% less DNS requests is still a win. The router/gateway doesn’t have to work that hard because of the dropped requests.

Issue resolved!

It was swhkd. Thank you very much for your insight and extremely detailed response!

$ ls -l $(which swhkd)
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 2583192 Mar 10 17:16 /usr/bin/swhkd

Since we know what’s causing it, can you make a “guesstimate” of what it’s doing? Why are other applications are getting infected by it? And why is a keybind manager affecting permissions?

I will raise an issue on their github. The project is already looking for maintainers.
